Knights Ferry News by Mary Sue Shearer Here is the June 26, 2013 column that evidently got lost in cyberspace.

Bill and Ellen Wearin just returned from a family vacation (yes, all the family made it) to Disneyland. Many miles of walking, seeing spectacular shows and riding all the rides made for an exhausting adventure but one to be remembered by all. Four-year-old Bailey (granddaughter) loved the Princesses best while seven-year-old Payton (grandson) couldn’t get enough of Goofy’s Roller Coaster. Bill’s back will never be the same after riding it three times in a row. Madeliene, Emily and Wyatt (grandchildren) loved the Hollywood Hotel, the Matterhorn and the shopping. Amanda’s family, with grandma in tow (Ellen) then headed for San Diego to visit Sea World, the Zoo and Safari Land. San Diego cannot be visited without a trip to the beach. The ten days went quickly with good food, good company and good times. As Ellen Wearin said when asked about her favorite part “It’s about making memories that families can share and hold in their hearts forever, that’s all that really matters.”
